The 43rd ASEAN Summit will occur in Jakarta on September 5-7, 2023. No less lively than the 42nd ASEAN Summit in Labuan Bajo, several side events will take place during the week of the 43rd Summit in Jakarta.

Interestingly, the side events at the 43rd ASEAN Summit will include more than just exhibitions and entertainment. The side events are enlivened with various meetings related to policies encouraging the growth and development of ASEAN member countries.

One of the side events is the ASEAN Business Summit on August 21-23, 2023, in Nusa Dua, Bali. The side event aims to support increased inclusive and responsible economic growth.

In addition to the ASEAN Business Summit, a series of side events are still lining up to welcome the 43rd ASEAN Summit in Jakarta. What are the options?

Side Events of the 43rd ASEAN Summit 

One of the side events to take place is the ASEAN Investment Forum. The exhibition, held by the Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) in welcoming the 43rd ASEAN Summit 2023 in Jakarta, has the theme "Investment Opportunities through the 43rd ASEAN Summit" and will take place on September 2, 2023.

This side event provides a "special place" to attract investors to the Capital City of the Archipelago (Ibu Kota Nusantara/IKN). The ASEAN Investment Forum will facilitate potential investors, particularly from Singapore and Malaysia, for direct site visits to IKN.

Furthermore, the ASEAN+ Youth Summit will also be a side event that will take place in welcoming the 43rd ASEAN Summit in Jakarta. This side event is planned to be held in Bogor and Jakarta on September 6-8, 2023.

Under the theme "Embracing Growthanability", the ASEAN+ Youth Summit will discuss five very important topics including: Digital Literacy and Inclusion, Food Security, Green Economy, Future of Education and Employment, and Health. 

In addition, other side events will still enliven the 43rd ASEAN Summit in Jakarta. More detailed information will be notified later.
